RESCUE
Mac & Jennie, Book 1
Mac, longtime special ops veteran, and his new wife Jennie are hunted by longtime enemies,
and lead the attackers on a long, dangerous chase across the country.
Back at Jennie's school her friend Celena writes code that pretends to predict stock prices.
When the fraud is discovered, Celena is thrown out of school and sent home to Venezuela.
Philip then re-writes the code as a big-data project that legitimately attempts to predict stock prices.
Leonard from Chicago wants that software. Leonard gets what he wants, and he takes Philip hostage.
Phillip's life will be short when Leonard finds that the software does not work.
Mac and Jennie are hired to protect Philip, and must rescue him... and Celena, now held hostage in Venezuela.

"401 and 622 are out," she said, dropping room keys on the counter. "Oh, and there's a body in 622," she said. "And the lamp is broken."
The clerk stared at her.
"You might want to call an ambulance before housekeeping gets there, but …" Jennie shrugged. "Your choice."

Mac walked into the Manuel Crescencio Rejón International Airport in Mérida with sweat-soaked clothes, a five-day beard, and serious sunburn.
The United agent looked at him.
“Need a flight home,” he said in a dry, raspy voice.
“With that?” She looked at the machete in his hand.
“My carry-on.”
She stared, and then laughed. “All right, I give up. Who are you, and what can I do for you?”
“I was kidnapped. I’m desperately hungry, I have no money or clothes, and I need to go home. Type in my frequent flyer number, and we can get started.”
She looked past him, and he turned around. Four Mexican officers stood very close. “Can we help you, Señora? Is this man a problem?”
“No, we’re fine. He’ll be checking the machete.”
Apparently unconvinced, none of them moved. He turned back to the agent. “I have a credit card on file. Can I get a flight?”

He opened the front door, saw the trash spilled all over the driveway, and suddenly knew what had happened. He ran to the street, saw tail-lights rounding the corner in the next block, and cursed.
“Can’t a couple just have a nice evening at home anymore?” he muttered. He got on the phone, and opened up the laptop on the kitchen table.
“What is your emergency?”
“My wife was just kidnapped. The car is probably a blue BMW, just now leaving the Blossom Creek Village subdivision.”
“Your wife was just kidnapped?”
“Yes, can we move a little quicker please?”
“What is your name, sir?”
“All right, look, I don’t have time for twenty questions. I’m going to chase them until you get there. Tell the police what I just told you! Here’s the number they can reach me on.” He hung up, logged into Jennie’s iCloud account and hit the “Find my iPhone” utility.

About the Author
Gary Henderson
I spend my days writing about technology, but every now and then I get to pick a banjo, hit a racquetball, produce some video, and even write a story or two! From where? As they say, I wasn't born in Texas, but I got here as quick as I could!
I hope you'll enjoy my stories!
The "Charles, A Dragon" series and the "Oak and the Cliff" stories have lots of humor and talking animals mixed in. People of all ages enjoy them, and there are more sequels in the works.
The first book in the "Cords of Orion" series would be called Christian speculative fiction, a genre expanded most notably by C.S. Lewis, and by many others more recently. Also from a Christian viewpoint, "To Reign For A Thousand Years" offers a fictional exploration of what comes next, framed around some events described in the book of Revelation.
A new set of characters have arrived, Mac & Jennie -- taking on the bad guys with a light touch and plenty of humor, in what you might call light-hearted thrillers.
A new series introduces Lia and her father Harlan, seeking -- and by the end, finding -- a surprising new home.
And the "Short Stories" are a delightful sampling of things that have not made it into print, but are available as a collection in the ebook formats and are free to be read online. Click on the book cover below and look for the "Free to Read Online" button. The table of contents will be on your left. I would particularly suggest "The Flavor Shop," in which four cats (photo included) borrowed my Explorer and went to town for some ice cream...
